Farm accident exposes phone coverage flaws in the bush
Badly injured after falling from a height on his property, Alex Ballhausen could not call for help on his mobile phone due to lack of reception.
By SHARON BONTHUYS A FARM accident south of Narromine has exposed the potentially fatal flaws in poor mobile phone coverage in regional Australia. Badly injured after falling from a height on his property on the morning of March 14, Alex Ballhausen could not
call for help on his mobile phone. Mr Ballhausen woke up on his hands and knees, with blood on his arm and in excruciating pain. There was no phone service and his property is just 60 kilometres south of Narromine. “I knew I couldn’t stay where I was because no one
knew I was there. My wife knew I was on the farm but was in Dubbo at the time,” he said. The fall left Mr Ballhausen with eight fractured vertebrae, a fractured shoulder and ribs, a punctured lung, a fractured skull, smashed nose, cheekbone and eye socket. Despite his extensive in-
juries, Mr Ballhausen managed to crawl to his ute 20 metres away and drive to where a group of earthmoving contractors were working on his property nearby. “Adrenaline kicked in and I knew I had to move,” he said. The contractors drove him towards town and were able to call for help en route. They
were met by an ambulance, who ferried the seriously injured patient to Dubbo. From there, Mr Ballhausen was flown to Sydney where he underwent surgery at the Royal North Shore Hospital to fuse five vertebrae together and repair his damaged face. Continued page 2
Trangie Truck and Tractor Show triumphs “THIS event will go ahead rain, hail or shine!” That was the message the organisers of the Trangie Truck and Tractor (TTT) Show posted on social media last Friday. Days of bad weather in the lead up to the event, courtesy of conditions on the east coast, had bucketed the central west with rain. Some sections of the event were relocated from the Trangie showgrounds to the main street as a contingency. This effectively split the event between two locations. Saturday, April 9, dawned grey and rainy initially, but the weather held from mid-morning. The show went ahead split across the two venues and was a roar-
ing success. People came from all over to enjoy the entertainment on offer at Trangie’s biggest community event of the year. The showgrounds hosted market stalls and children’s activities undercover while the demolition derby in the afternoon drew diehard fans. Dandaloo Street hosted trucks, tractors, and an assortment of old and newer classic cars. The organisers scrapped the entry fee at the showground meaning patrons entered for free. Local businesses and clubs operating stalls in the central business district also benefited from the large crowds checking out the action in Dandaloo Street. Continued page 4

Farm accident exposes phone coverage flaws From page 1 After returning to Dubbo for rehabilitation, Mr Ballhausen finally returned home on April 5. The incident came to light when Mr Ballhausen shared his frustration with regional telecommunications on Twitter on April 1. “For years we’ve been getting the same spiel – we’re going to improve the service, we’re going to fi ll in the black spots, we’re putting up more infrastructure. “But we’re not seeing the results of these promises. Whether it’s from Telstra or our local members,” he told the Narromine Star. “It just shouldn’t happen in this day and age. Especially in this terrain – it’s as flat as a biscuit. It’s not the Blue Mountains where we’re down in the bottom of some valley. The coverage out here should be pretty good, I would’ve thought.” Mr Ballhausen believes telecommunications towers are part of the problem. They were never designed to handle the amount of data transmitted in modern times. “The little bit of research that I’ve done, and I’m not a telecommunications expert, shows the biggest problem seems to be the amount of data that’s being transferred off these towers. “They were never designed for Netfl ix or Stan and these other things that have popped up in the last few years. They were originally purely designed for phone calls. “There’s so much traffic on these towers that they’re over-subscribed. Once this happens the range gets reduced. It’s left massive gaps in the system.” Mr Ballhausen’s property falls within one of these service gaps, or black spots as they are also known. “You only have to get 15 kilometres south of Narromine and there is nothing from there. My block is 60 kilometres south. You’re looking at an almost 50-kilometre gap in service.” Narromine shire residents who travel to Dubbo will be familiar with another mobile black spot on the Mitchell Highway about 20 kilometres west of the city. Mr Ballhausen knows it well. “Everyone knows that one. You’re talking to someone and it drops out. That location is just minutes away from an urban centre with 40,000 people. It’s not good enough.” Following his accident, Mr Ballhausen’s sister contacted federal member for Parkes, Mark Coulton. “His reply was that he was going to look into it. Hopefully he’s going to do that. I read his response [to my sister] and I was pretty annoyed that one of his recommendations was that I should buy a satellite phone. “Considering where we live, this farm’s not on the edge of the Simpson

Desert – it’s in the central west NSW. “There’s so many dead spots around Narromine. Does that mean every farmer in central west NSW has to carry a satellite phone at an exorbitant expense? That’s ridiculous.” Outgoing Telstra CEO Andrew Penn told the National Farmers Federation (NFF) national conference in Canberra last week that the company was investing hundreds of millions of dollars to improve the support to regional, remote and outer-metro areas. The Connected Communities program will increase engagement, advocacy and network advisory staff in regional areas as well as expand service coverage in regional Australia, he said. Telstra will invest $75 million from the part sale of the Telstra InfraCo Towers business in addition to $200 million over four years for co-investments with governments and local communities, he said. “This will extend regional coverage, including expanding 4G and 5G coverage in regional Australia by 100,000 square kilometres by June 2025.” Telstra has also committed $150 million to improve regional mobile network customer experience. This includes addressing areas of network congestion by upgrading over 180 3G sites, augmenting capacity at selected 4G sites with high traffic, and further 4G site optimisations to better balance 3G/4G traffic and address localised customer demand, he said.

Council “will ensure our regional, rural and remote customers have an even louder voice at the table, Mr Penn said. The council members will include a chief customer advocate, chief First Nations advocate, chief regional advocate as well as a remote community advocate. Telstra’s regional general manager Michael Marom said “a number of environmental factors can affect mobile coverage, such as the type of device being used, the distance from a tower, terrain (hills and valleys), vegetation or buildings”. “Telstra’s 5G, 4G and 3G coverage is available in Narromine and a large part of the surrounding area, but there are patches where there is currently no coverage.” A new mobile base station is planned at Kickabil to deliver further coverage to that region, Mr Marom said. Mayor Craig Davies said he had been pushing the telecommunications issue since he became mayor in 2016. “Every person in our shire and indeed the west and north of the state have good reason to feel let down. Many people have been without Internet service of any kind way too often,” mayor Davies said. “The notion of satellite is a joke and even Telstra have finally admitted that even their ‘version two’ is not the answer. It just doesn’t work. “For every day and every year we are denied a reasonable level of connectivity we are being discriminated against. I am as frustrated as I have ever been about any issue with this very poor level of service and despite all the promises we still have nothing.” Mayor Davies was particularly scathing of the federal government’s response to the issue. “The answer from the federal government was to establish an Optus tower in the middle of nowhere.” Regional residents like Mr Ballhausen don’t want to hear ideas – they want action. “We’re not interested in watching the latest Netfl ix series. All we want is a service where we can conduct our business on a day to day basis, and if we need to, call for help. Hopefully that is something we should never have to do.” Mr Ballhausen was surprised to learn just how far his story has spread. He has given a number of interviews to media outlets across Australia and the Carbon Farmers of the USA also picked up the story. “I didn’t expect [all this interest] to happen but I’ve started this and I’ve got to continue on with it. If it saves a life down the road, it’s a good thing. “Normally I’m a very quiet, under the radar person, I don’t like putting myself out there. But if this makes a difference, it’s got to be a good thing.”

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, April 14, 2022
Rain shows drainage issues in Narromine By SHARON BONTHUYS LAST week’s deluge of rain over several days resulted in many Narromine streets being flooded. Linked to the wet and stormy conditions experienced on the east coast, the rain pelted the central west region for a sustained period. The sun finally emerged in the Narromine Shire on Sunday, April 10. The Narromine Star drove around town on Friday, April 8 and photographed several streets where water had collected. Water covered the Mitchell Highway opposite St Andrew’s Uniting Church, catching some motorists in smaller vehicles by surprise as they ploughed through it. Dundas Park near the playground equipment was also underwater. One of the worst areas for flooding was Terangion Street, opposite the saleyards. At one point on Friday, April 8, the water was almost to the middle of the street where it intersects with Murgah Street. In nearby Manildra Street, water crept up into the front yards of at least two homes. Sixth Avenue also had water collecting on both sides of the street. Even Dandaloo Street had trouble managing the water. The question on our mind – why was this happening after a few days of heavy rain? If you take a walk or drive along your street, look at the roadside gutters and note where the nearest drain is situated. You may find that your street does not have one. The Narromine Star found very few drains around town during its investigation. Drains built periodically into gutters enable water to move into the below-ground system of pipes that transports stormwater away. When these drains don’t exist or where there are not enough of them, gutters fi ll quickly and the collected water takes much longer to disperse. Fascinated by this situation, which also exists in Trangie as we discovered, the Narromine Star asked the Narromine Shire Council about how modern
towns like these could be built without drains. “Past decisions regarding the provision of adequate drainage were made in a different time when planning standards were different, expectations were likely different, and there was less emphasis on the provision of kerb and guttering and sealed roads which will increase the water flow,” said General Manager Jane Redden. “Our strategic planning now also factors future growth and today’s legislation.” This planning has taken into consideration drainage strategies, she said. “Council has conducted and adopted drainage strategies for both Narromine and Trangie towns and is in the process of implementing these strategies for both townships. “Unfortunately, due to the above average wet weather events experienced, ground conditions were too wet to implement some of these works. “Council also had to obtain approvals from third parties, to construct or maintain drainage works, which caused some delays.” Both drainage strategies identified improvements to the drainage network where additional drains can be installed to convey stormwater up to a certain storm event, Ms Redden said. “Unfortunately, due to the topography of the towns, the stormwater systems can only convey small storm events. Recently, both towns have experienced larger storm events, meaning that the existing stormwater systems were unable to cope,” Ms Redden said. Narromine Shire Council proposes to spend approximately $200 000 per year over the next few years to improve the drainage in the towns as per the adopted stormwater strategies. “Some of these works include the cleaning out and condition assessment of underground pipe networks. The budget will be presented to Council as part of the Integrated Planning and Reporting Process,” Ms Redden said. Continued page 5

Trangie truck and tractor show triumphs
From page 1 People attended the event from all over, with some travelling long distances to be there. Don Toohey visited from Orange while Mick Bourke, Barry Smith and Joe Smith visited from Nyngan. The Narromine Star caught up with them at Cafe 2823 where Barry Smith said he had enjoyed visiting the market stalls at the showground. “There are stalls down there selling a lot of antique stuff,” he said. Alex Gartside and Maddie Bretag were busy raising funds for the Trangie Tennis Club at a stall on Dandaloo Street. “We’ve got the kids’ tennis program and a future competition to fund,” said Ms Gartside. The hardworking ladies at the Country Women’s Association (CWA) also had a busy stall. “It’s wonderful to see so many people,” said CWA member Lyn Carpenter. “And their dogs!” Col Simpson from Trangie enjoyed looking at the many big rigs on display. Down at the showgrounds, where the grounds were significantly waterlogged, 20-month-old Oliver Perrement enjoyed the mud puddles. The mechanical bull ride in the pavilion was a magnet for young people. Ethan Foster, 11, lasted about four seconds on the spinning ride before being unseated. “I didn’t hurt myself,” he assured his family. The markets were very well patronised and sold everything from local arts and crafts to antique items, homewares and more. Information service providers were also on site. Spokesperson Terrie Milgate expressed her thanks on social media to everyone who made the event possible. “A massive thank you to all the people that volunteered and helped out at the TTT event. Under extreme conditions the event went ahead and it was a big ask to have our volunteers working, getting drenched etc. “Thankfully there are a lot of people that love anything that has wheels. These people aren’t stopped by a few drops of rain and bad weather conditions.” The next TTT will take place in August 2023.

Warren Chamber’s Music Education Week
Recent rain shows drainage issues
From page 3 Council is also in the process of reviewing its Asset Management Plans, which will include a Drainage Asset Management Plan which will go on public exhibition in May 2022. This plan will also have a focus on stormwater maintenance activities. The public is welcome to comment on these Asset Management Plans during the public exhibition period.
By EMILY MIDDLETON AFTER last year’s success of the fi rst biannual Warren Chamber Music Festival (WCMF), in its year off, the festival will be running a musical education week. Including live street performances, workshops, lectures, trivia, and an array of concerts, the education week aims to include every level of the community. “This time we have gone into the community, into the schools, to the aged care residents, to the early learners, and we say ‘look, just take this. Try this’,” said Frances Evans, WCMF coordinator. “This is a different week, not just concerts, our committee really has a mandate to get it right into every level of our community.” Last year, performed in be-
tween COVID-19 lockdowns, the WCMF sold over 600 tickets to the inaugural threeday event. Audience members travelled from right across the state, and Ms Evans says it’s the music that brings people together. “We were so fortunate to run it last year, and then this year again restrictions have been lifted so people can come together. Music is a great way to bring people together to be inspired and be happy and grow together,” said Ms Evans. “The stars aligned, and we ran the festival for the fi rsttime last year with a $20,000 grant from the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR), as well as support from Outback Arts and Warren Shire Council.” The WCMF came about by the passion of three Warren
locals. Ms Evans explained that two of her friends came to her with the concept, and the idea has only expanded. “Two of my very dear friends, Phil Leman and Dr John Bourke, they’ve lived in Warren almost their entire life, they came to me and said ‘hey do you think we could run something like this?’, and they put down the Port Fairy Spring Festival program, which happens in Victoria – and I said to them, ‘well I don’t think we can quite manage the Port Fairy musical but we can certainly do something’. “And that’s how it all kind of evolved.” Ms Evans is no stranger to music festivals, having played in a multitude of classic music festivals, orchestras, and ensembles. “I really know the reper-
toire, and I really know what people are going to enjoy, because there is so much beautiful classical music out there. “We love music, and we love our town, and we want to make sure the people in the district here have the opportunity to fall in love with classical music even if they haven’t yet heard it before.” The WCMF have listened to last year’s feedback and are poised to take on next year’s festival. “We are really excited about 2023 as well. Next year - I’m already bursting out of my skin - the Golden String Quartet are coming, they’re arguably Australia’s best string quartet. They are willing and wanting to come this far west to bring what they’ve got to our audiences.” Education week kicks off early next month.
The Mitchell Highway was covered with water in this location.
In the meantime, Council would like to remind residents to maintain their driveways especially if they have installed a pipe or a metal ramp. “This would ensure that stormwater drains freely and that their driveway does not impede stormwater flows, which could cause potential flooding issues upstream,” Ms Redden said.

By SALLY EVERETT ON Saturday, April 9, Narromine Jets travelled to Gilgandra to play in the knockout. There were some tough games and the Jets had to work hard, but we’re proud to come away winners of the day, bringing home the trophy.
That evening we celebrated with our season launch at the Narromine USMC. The season launch was a great opportunity to welcome in the 2022 season as well as our move into the Castlereagh League. It was a great night with special guest speaker Matt Coop-
er, who played his entire NRL career with the St George Dragons including winning the 2010 NRL grand fi nal. He also played State of Origin for NSW and was an Australian international. He spoke about his playing career as well as his appearances on several reality TV
series such as Big Brother, Celebrity Apprentice, Dancing With The Stars and the Full Monty. Mr Cooper was a great speaker, very down to earth and shared his story in a genuine and honest manner. After the presentation local music talent Shane Riley pro-
vided live music. Bob Walsh did a fantastic job as our MC, and while the night was a celebration, we also took the opportunity to acknowledge the late Bobby Weir, who recently passed. We recognised his contributions to not only the Jets, but rugby league overall.

Rain delays 100th parkrun
DAYS of rain caused the postponement of the highly anticipated 100th parkrun at Narromine last weekend. The announcement to postpone was made the day before on what was one of the wettest days Narromine had experienced this year. “With the continuing rainfall, and it seems it is going to hang around for a while yet, we have decided in the interests of safety and wellbeing to postpone our 100th run for tomorrow,” a spokesperson posted on social media. The 100th parkrun will now take place Saturday week. Parkrunners should also note there will also be no parkrun event held this Easter weekend so, the hardworking volunteers can spend the holiday with their family.
Shire road closure update The van is in high demand and covers a wide geographical area in NSW. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.
Hearing Australia van visits again By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Hearing Australia van was in Narromine earlier this week for one day only as part of its central west outreach. The in-demand van can only visit the Narromine shire three times a year, said community hearing advisor Sharon Simpson. Visits are scheduled for April, July and November each year, Ms Simpson said. The van services the largest geographical area in
NSW, stretching from the Queensland border well down into the central and far west. Services provided from within the self-contained van include hearing assessments, selecting and fitting of hearing aids, ongoing care and repair of devices, advice to improve listening and communication, counselling and rehabilitation. Hearing Australia’s services are free for children, pensioners, Indigenous over
50s, and Department of Veterans Affairs card holders. For other non-concessional clients, a low-cost fee is payable. Ms Simpson saw several new clients on this trip and said she tries to catch up with existing clients when she can. This saves clients from having to travel to Dubbo. It may surprise the community to learn that Ms Simpson sees a lot of young people experiencing hearing
impairments on her travels. “A lot of young people I’ve seen in country areas have had damaged hearing due to loud machinery on farms, shooting activities and things like that,” she said. “I’m grateful to the Narromine Shire Council for making it possible for the van to be here,” she said. The van is expected to return in July.
NARROMINE Shire Council was advising the travelling public this week that due to recent rain, ALL UNSEALED ROADS in the shire remain CLOSED to ALL VEHICLES. Gainsborough Road remains closed to all vehicles, however, access to the Narromine Waste Depot is unaffected via Tomingley Road. People who have online access can visit www.livetraffic.com for live updates, traveller information and personalised alerts for NSW roads. Floodwaters are dangerous. Never enter floodwater, it may be deeper and faster flowing than anticipated and or the road may have suffered extensive damage hidden beneath the water. Flagrant and irresponsible disregard for this appeal could lead to prosecution to the full extent of the law. In life threatening situations call 000 (triple zero). For emergency help in floods call the NSW SES on 132 500.

Mental health is like ‘being bogged’, but there is a way out Tragedy too close to home led Mary O’Brien down a path where she has now changed lives – for the better By SHARON BONTHUYS WHEN two male colleagues suicided, Australian spray drift expert Mary O’Brien wrote an opinion piece that changed lives. Including hers. Thousands of people have resonated with her message, leading to a new role for Ms O’Brien and new hope for many suffering depression and deteriorating mental health. Without any formal qualifications in mental health, this quiet achiever has set out to tackle men’s wellbeing. More specifically, rural men’s mental health and rural male suicide. She has likened the spiral of depression and mental health trauma to “getting bogged”. She now speaks all over Australia delivering an iconic program she developed called, Are You Bogged, Mate? Narromine Shire Council arranged for Ms O’Brien to speak at the Narromine Aero Club on April 7. Her presentation gave an outstanding and simple explanation of what mental health and depression is and how it manifests in rural men and women. “Seven men will be lost to suicide every day, and two women,” she said, citing Australian Bureau of Statistics figures from 2020. The highest rates of male suicide are found in the 85 years plus age group, she said. Ms O’Brien estimates that her program has personally prevented five or six rural men from committing suicide. These are just the ones she knows about. There are likely to be more. Last year she spoke to 7000 people face-to-face, an incredible feat considering it was managed around the changing restrictions in different jurisdictions across the country. Her brochure describes mental health like this: “Yes, that mongrel black dog that sneaks in when you least expect it, grabs all of your rational thoughts, buries them somewhere you can’t fi nd them, and without you or those close to you noticing, it gradually pulls

Using the ‘bogged’ scenario, Ms O’Brien makes sense of what is a very difficult subject for many to understand. “It doesn’t matter how badly you are bogged, we can help you make it out,” Ms O’Brien told those gathered. “Don’t burn the vehicle. We can always get your vehicle out.” Why do rural men get bogged? Just some of the things landholders are dealing with include natural disasters like fi re and flood, which have a flow on effect into the wider community. Other pressures include energy costs, farm in-
vasions, red and green tape, and relationship breakdowns, Ms O’Brien said. A key sign that someone you know is ‘getting bogged’ includes a change in behaviour. Family and friends are in the ideal space to recognise this
“Blokes know that if it goes into the red [on the sh*tometer] it’s bad, but the trick is not to stay there.”
fi rst, she said. “We are the frontline. We know our family better than anyone else,” she said. Other important signs that someone is struggling include increased drug and alcohol use, withdrawing from others and activities like sport or recreation, giving away personal possessions and putting personal affairs in order. Ms O’Brien pulls no punches in her talks, and uses down to earth and sometimes confronting language to put everything into perspective. She uses a “sh*tometer” to help measure the levels of

pressure people are under and “sh*t buckets” to show exactly what those pressures are. “Blokes know that if it goes into the red [on the sh*tometer] it’s bad, but the trick is not to stay there,” Ms O’Brien said. The “buckets” are more subtle as pressures can build gradually and sometimes not everything can be dealt with and moved on from. “It’s much easier if someone helps you hold the bucket, isn’t it?” she said, stressing the importance of being able to share your thoughts with others to help lighten the load carried inside. It is also important to empty those buckets as much as possible. “Don’t feel guilty for doing what’s best for you to empty your bucket.” Ms O’Brien said that women can support their partners by giving them space. “Men need to spend time with other men. Men will talk things over with their friends,” Ms O’Brien said. This is why organisations like the men’s sheds and similar groups are so valuable, because they allow men this space to engage and to talk, she said. Mental health is a complex area and not everyone can or will engage with interventions, no matter how well meaning they may be. Ms O’Brien admits it’s hard to save someone who doesn’t want to participate in their own rescue. She said there are resources available that may assist rural people, in particular, who are struggling. One is the Virtual Psychologist which provides access to counselling services seven days a week. Another is This Is A Conversation Starter (TIACS), a free and confidential counselling service.

Farewell, Bob Weir By ALISON ATTWATER, ON BEHALF OF THE EXTENDED WEIR FAMILY
ROBERT BRUCE WEIR passed away on March 26, 2022, aged 85. The Narromine Star appreciates the opportunity to publish the eulogy delivered at his funeral on April 8 at St Augustine’s Catholic Church by his grandchildren Anna Morgan, Fallon Attwater, Kohl Weir and Jordan Richardson. In next week’s issue we will feature some recollections by friends and players from Bob’s playing days. Vale, Bob Weir. Robert Bruce Weir was born to James and Ivy Weir in Narromine on June 1, 1936. Brother to Mick, Jock, Mary, Betty and Casey. Pop was affectionally known as “Bobby.” ‘Glenlossie’, Fairview Narromine was home to Pop and the Weir clan in the early days. Life was tough in those days but much love was provided for the Weir children. Pop’s schooling began at ‘Habberworth’. In later years he and sister Betty would often laugh about the long bike rides from the farm to school each day and how it would take its toll on certain body parts by the end of the week. From ‘Habberworth’, Pop moved to Narromine Public School as the family moved to town and purchased the orchard in Culling Street. Narromine Public is where Pop discovered early his love for sports. (He would later tell his own children he only went to school to play sport. This received raised eyebrows from Nan.) Pop was a shy child. He spoke through kind actions rather than words, a beautiful trait that stayed with him throughout his entire life. At age 15, Pop decided that school had served its purpose and started work at Western Stores as a farm machinery salesman. Pop didn’t fi nd this appealing at all and traded his sales hat for a carpentry apprenticeship with Bob Hoverden. Carpentry proved to be the right choice for Pop and so a successful career began. With limited socializing experience, Pop decided that it was time to venture out into the world and attend the local ‘Cusa’ Hall or what we would call in modern times, the night club of Narromine. It was here
that a young lassie by the name of Judy Collins caught his eye. Pop wondered how he would ever get to dance with Nan as she preferred to hide behind the piano. So a few weeks later, as the large group walked home together, Pop decided that he would just walk beside Nan and hold her hand. This took her by great surprise, but she was completely smitten. FROM here the romance blossomed and together they joined the Rugby League fraternity with his other love at the Narromine Jets. The year 1955 saw Pop play his fi rst game of fi rst grade football at age 18 and was rewarded with his fi rst premiership with the Jets. The following year, 1956, brought another premiership win for the Jets. From here Pop knew he belonged to this great game. By now, Pop’s love for his piano playing beauty was evident and in December 1957 their union was cemented at St Augustine’s Catholic Church, Narromine. Nan and Pop then moved into 6 Culling Street, Narromine, to build their life together. This year also brought Pop his fi rst taste of representative football with group 11. In 1958, Western Division Representation was added to Pop’s sporting achievements and he relished every moment of this game against the Poms. Things were getting better and better for Nan and Pop in 1958, and in December they welcomed their fi rst child, Robert James, and were ever so proud. Pop was loving life at this time as a new father, playing football and gaining new skills in the building game. He had made the move to a new job at McPherson Clueness in the construction industry and made many more friends. In 1962 Nan and Pop added to their clan. Pop said he would name his new little bundle, and proudly stated that she would be called Heather Joy. Nan and Pop felt that this parenting thing was pretty good, so in August 1963, Wendy Therese joined the family. Nan and Pop were grateful for another light in their lives. This little family went on the road together, and each Sunday was spent at the football ground of choice. Nan would start cooking on a Thursday so that everything would be ready for Sunday. These days were shared with Pop’s parents, in particular, Pop’s moth-
Russell Everingham funerals
er Ivy, who was also a Jets Life member, his brothers, sisters and friends. Good times were had by all. Rugby League was certainly a huge part of family life. In 1965, Pop made his first overseas trip to New Zealand as part of the NSW country team. Following this game an injury occurred for one of the NSW boys, so Pop got called in to replace him and a NSW jersey was added to the collection. In 1966, Pop captained the NSW country seconds and regained selection in the NSW team. He scored a try and kicked the goal for the Blues in that series. The year 1968 held a very special place in Pop’s heart as a player and coach for the Narromine Jets. Together with his mates, including one of Pop’s greatest mates, his younger brother Casey, the “Greats of 68” won the group 11 premiership against Dubbo CYMS 12-4 and returned the trophy to Cale Oval. I have been told the celebrations lasted weeks, and I’m sure that game will be played many many times again tonight. In 1970 the Weir Clan moved to Young. Pop loved a challenge and enjoyed meeting new people. Two years were spent with the Young Cherry Pickers and they appreciated all the football wisdom that Pop shared. In 1972 the Weirs made the return to Narromine. Pop was happy to be back with his extended family as 1970 proved difficult with the loss of his parents, Jim and Ivy. The year 1974 proved to be another momentous year in Pop’s life. Not only did it bring home another premiership for the Jets, but it also brought him a very special surprise in daughter Alison Elizabeth. Nan often tells the story of when playing a game that year. A crowd heckler called out “Oh Weir, you are too old.” Nan, always being of quick wit, promptly held Alison up to the heckler and said to him, ‘if he is too old what is this!!’ This silenced the crowd and the heckler did not reply! In the major semi-fi nal of that same year, Pop broke his leg. It was noted that after breaking his leg Pop got up and played the ball so that his team did not lose possession. I think this recollection speaks volumes of what a tough champion Pop was. Due to that broken leg, Pop missed the grand fi nal and

After this Pop realised that his playing days were over, something that he found difficult to accept, and he took some time out from football. In 1979, a return to the coach’s hat for Pop with the Western Division team, and football was fi rmly back on his mind. The year 1980 was another standout in Pop’s football memories. His 1980 Narromine Jets charges, although challenging at times, proved to be most rewarding. This group of fi ne young men, including son Robert, did Pop proud and beat the much-favoured Dubbo Macquarie side in the grand final 18-10. The Group 11 trophy was again back in Narromine and Pop was the fi rst non-playing coach in Group 11 to win a premiership. As the family grew and the children took on their own sporting pursuits, Pop was their biggest fan. He soon learnt the rules of basketball so that he could form his own opinions of the game. Pop never offered many words of advice, but his heart was full to watch his children compete. Their love for sport was evident and seeing the sportsman-like qualities inherited from their father gave Pop a
great sense of achievement. One of his favourite sayings was: “it’s not if you win or lose it’s how you play the game, remember winning is just a bonus”. Many fun basketball trips were had and Pop loved being the life of the party. Pop was an extremely hard worker and threw himself at his building. The bigger the challenge the more Pop enjoyed it. Some of his projects Included the Wesley Units, Mungery Hall, Narromine Sports and Fitness Centre, Narromine Bowling Club and numerous houses in Narromine and surrounding areas - always supported by Nan keeping the bookwork up to date. During these years Pop enjoyed a game of golf in summer and was a regular attendee at PPs on a Sunday with brother Casey. He also tried his hand at indoor cricket. His team was aptly named “Weirs Wood Worms”. Pop loved cricket as a youngster so indoor cricket played on a Thursday night with his mates was a highlight of his week. Pop was an integral part of his family’s biggest moments and with the addition of daughter-in- law Janice and sons-in-law Graham, Peter and Neville, these unions gave Pop wonderful memories of family weddings and celebrations, and more importantly,

Christmas time, whilst hectic, was Pop’s favourite time with his family. The kindness and patience shown to us by Pop was always constant. He never had a cross word, and if he raised an eyebrow on the odd occasion, we all would take notice. He loved his family dearly and showed this not usually through words but by listening and simply being there when needed. Nan and Pop purchased a holiday home at Diamond Beach near Forster in the early 90s. This made Pop so happy. All his children and grandchildren got to spend time here, memories we will have always. Whilst busy working and grandparenting, rugby league called Pop back to the game that was such a big part of his life, by way of NSW Country Selector. Nan saw this as a great reward for Pop and together they enjoyed this time. Upon return from their trips, Nan would say how they saw some really good players that particular weekend, but none as good as her Bobby. She may have been slightly biased! And in 1998 Pop hung up his selector’s hat. In 2003 Pop was honoured with the news that his former CYMS rival and friend, Mick Wilson, had put to the Group 11 committee that a medal in Pop’s name for the best and fairest player on grand final day be considered. And so the Bob Weir Medal was born, a fitting trib-
ute to a man that did so much for Rugby League in country NSW. This, along with his beloved Narromine Jets, group 11 and Western Division Life Membership gave Pop time to reflect on a footy career that gave him so much joy. An old Daily Liberal newspaper article about Pop’s medal quoted one of his great mates Arnie Gillespie: “Bobby was one of the most fearsome defenders he had ever seen. He tackled hard, but always fair, he always ran straight and the crowds would flock to see him play.” Arnie and Pop remained lifelong mates. We could stand here for days and talk about this legend we knew as Pop, a man that always conducted himself with the utmost dignity and integrity. A patient, kind and humble man who was held in the highest regard by so many. A mate and giver to all, who never asked for anything in return, and more than all, a legendary husband and father. As we remember the many good times we spent with you, Pop. We will be eternally grateful for the role model and true gentleman you were. So Pop (big breath), we are so thankful to have had the best of the best and know they will be playing football in heaven, so it’s time to grab your jersey and lace up those boots. The whistle is about to blow and oh how you will relish the return. Farewell my old mate we will love you forever and meet again when the Jets go marching on.
The Narromine Jets club would always have a special place in Bob’s heart.

Bob Weir will be remembered by many.

Political News & Opinion Rain a good start to the season for dryland farmers MAYOR’S AYOR’S MESSAGE ESSAGE Comment mment by CR CRAIG DAVIES,, Narromine rromine Shire re mayorr
ONE hundred millimetres of rain in the second week of April is about as good a start to the farming season as dryland farmers could hope for. After two of the best years in memory another great start is such a confidence building event and bodes well for another above average season. Some parts of the shire have had 400mm of rain al-
ready, and will look for a dry three to four weeks to allow sowing and cotton picking to get underway. Some of the earlier storms across the shire have led to significant roadworks being brought forward to allow for the repairs to roads having been all but washed away with 200mm falling in 48 hours. Council now has four road crews working to get these roads brought up to standard and others that have had to be left in the queue will see action in the coming weeks and months. It has become a real focus of council to bring our rural roads up to a much better level of service knowing that our community infrastructure has largely been completed.
We are an agricultural shire and thereis a real imperative to ensure commodities can get to receival points and aren’t stuck on farms due to inaccessible roads. It is important to acknowledge the council is limited in our ability to bring all roads up to an acceptable level by the amount of funding we receive so, at every opportunity it’s helpful for residents to remind our local members of the importance of this funding. The federal funding is now about half what it was and given our ability to spend it more effectively than the government it really is a shame. DESPITE the 100mm of rain leading up to the weekend, the Trangie Truck and Tractor event went ahead regardless.
It was fantastic. Over 2000 people turned out for an event that has all the potential to become the biggest of its kind in Australia. The comments from the trucking fraternity were so positive and their belief in the event unwavering. Already council is looking at ways of supporting the next one in August next year and also seeking funding for a ‘Hall of Fame and Museum’. I have no doubt that by getting behind the event and having a museum in place we will see the event drawing eightto-10,000 people assuming the weather is kinder next time around. The committee deserves a huge congratulations and I’m sure they will be seeking other new members to cope with the growing numbers.
WITH Easter almost upon us council is organising many great activities for the kids of our shire. Most will be over when the paper comes out but the sports day at the sports centre in Narromine will be two hours of pure fun and is set down Wednesday week. Kids must be dropped off and picked up by a parent please. Mission Australia is also holding a massive fun day at Payten Oval on Friday week. There will be two inflatables along with arts and crafts, footy for fun and a rockwall. Free transport is available for Trangie kids. And this is a free day. Finally, have a great Easter and a safe one and enjoy all that our wonderful shire has to offer.
New regional health division to be established AROUND UND THE ELECTORATE TORATE Comment nt by DUGALD D SAUNDERS, ERS, State Member ember for Dubbo bo I WELCOME the announcement that a new regional health division of NSW Health will be established. The new division will ensure there is a renewed focus on the health services and outcomes for peo-
ple living in regional and rural NSW. The establishment of the division is a key step towards ensuring the public health system has the needs and expectations of the communities of regional NSW at its heart. SINCE launching in 2017, the NSW Government ‘Savings Finder’ program has saved families around $5.8 billion, with Australian-fi rst vouchers, rebates and initiatives designed to fi nd savings in every aspect of daily life. I know how hard it is for so many families in our commu-
nity, which is why I am committed to easing the cost of living for all households. Whether you’re a family, a retired couple, a young professional or a small business owner, we want to deliver savings right to your hip pocket. The government’s cost of living program is designed to help with everyday expenses, including household energy and utilities, transport, raising children, dining, experiences and accommodation. My message to local families is simple - do yourself a favour and give the program a go, or book an appointment with a savings specialist. You
could walk away with extra money in your pocket! Find out more at the Service NSW website. PEOPLE in the Narromine region can celebrate their community and reconnect with neighbours and friends at local markets, carnivals, festivals and fairs, thanks to the government’s new $25 million Reconnecting Regional NSW – Community Events Program. With Narromine residents getting out and about again after the challenges of drought, COVID-19 and the mouse plague, the funding will help local communities reconnect
once more. The program will support eligible regional local government areas to host activities and support the events, hospitality and tourism sectors as increasing numbers of visitors return to regional NSW. The past two years have been difficult, with people disconnected from family and friends, which is why the state government is backing local events that bring local communities together again. For eligibility criteria and program guidelines visit the NSW Government website. Until next time, Dugald

Dear Editor, The ongoing floods in NSW and QLD are a worry for all who live on flood plains. Narromine has a history of bad floods. In 1955 the town ‘totally’ flooded. Narromine Council in the past (three-five years) had plans for a new levee bank around Narromine town and airport but nothing happened. If Warren and Nyngan have levees, Narromine has a good case to build one too. Come on, council! Yours sincerely, Bruce Fragar, Narromine

Cuppas at court By SHARON BONTHUYS WHEN the Narromine courthouse convenes on the fi rst Tuesday of each month, a small silver caravan is parked on the street outside. Inside the van, volunteers from the St Andrew’s Uniting Church, Narromine, provide free cups of coffee and tea to those waiting to have their matters listed in court. With over 50 cases each month at the court, the list days are busy as matters are heard. People can be waiting for some time outside until their matters are called. Volunteer Jeff Anderson told the Narromine Star that this service is provided as part of the church’s outreach to the community. “Sometimes people [going into court] want to talk to us. We don’t mind,” he said. “Sometimes they can be waiting a long time before they go
inside.” A free cuppa, especially now the mornings are cooling down, is a welcome refreshment for those waiting, he said. The reasons why people are presenting at court are never discussed, Mr Anderson said. “That’s not what we’re here for.” St Andrew’s volunteers have been providing this free community service for 16 years, Mr Anderson said. Originally the church provided the service from inside the building. The group looked for more suitable alternatives and found one in the small silver van. “We found this little van at Dubbo and fi xed it up. It works well for what we need to do here,” Mr Anderson said. What they do is provide a cuppa and a friendly face for those who need it.
Youth get work ready By SHARON BONTHUYS A GROUP of teens took the opportunity to get work ready last Friday night, participating in a careers session at the Narromine Library. Aged between 13 and 16, the students joined the local Joblink Plus youth team for advice on crafting a resume, taking a career quiz, and the skills needed to fi nd jobs. The session started with pizza, which everyone enjoyed, and moved to the library’s bank of computers for the next stage. Team leader Tamara Thorpe and youth consultant Adeline Duncan led the session, assisting the students with career questions and navigating the online employment space. “Young people can be worried about what to do [for work],” said Ms Thorpe. This can manifest in the years before young people leave school. Joblink Plus has a pro-
gressive program providing school leavers aged from 15 to 24 years with the skills they need fi nd work. This may also include funding particular elements that may otherwise prevent some young people from fi nding work. “We can support participants with driving lessons and getting a licence, and the cost of getting things prepared like resumes etc,” Ms Thorpe said. Most of the full-time high school students attending Friday night’s career session are too young to participate in the scheme run by Joblink Plus, which targets school leavers. However, letting them know about the services available when they finish school and look for work is important, Ms Thorpe said. Joblink Plus can also connect program participants with referrals to other services, if needed, she said. The local office is based in Dandaloo Street, Narromine, just up from the library.

Narromine Hospital Auxiliary News By VICKI GAINSFORD A big congratulations to our auxiliary members for a mammoth effort, once again, selling tickets in our Easter raffle, and to those who supported it. Our raffle sales help considerably to fund equipment that is seen by the hospital health service manager and medical staff to be a priority. We are currently seeking to fund a slit lamp for the hospital; a key tool for examining eye injury or disease which would eliminate the need
St Mary’s AWA flower show By SHARON BONTHUYS CALLING all green thumbs! St Mary’s AWA Flower Show is back after a hiatus and will be staged next month in Narromine. Show categories will include

Narromine Shire receives road and community infrastructure funding NARROMINE Shire Council will receive $1,819,380 for priority projects under the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program. Projects to be delivered by Narromine Shire Council include: f $300,000 for the Narromine Aquatic Centre upgrade f $320,000 for the Tomingley Water Supply upgrade f $999,380 for gravel re-sheeting along Newhaven Road, Wyanga Road, Belmont Road and Backwater Road f $200,000 for improvements to footpaths in Narromine and Trangie. Narromine Shire Council Mayor Craig Davies welcomed this funding. “This sort of investment in vi-
for patients who go to the medical centre or the hospital with an eye issue to then be referred further on to Dubbo for examination. It’s been so nice to hear of people who have presented to the hospital in need of medical attention being treated promptly and well. It is deserved praise for the hardworking medical staff. Our next fundraising event will be our Mother’s Day Street Stall. There will be a host of things to entice you - cooking, plants and craft, and all too cheap at that! Mark it on your calendar!
er show has not been able to be held for the past couple of years. The group is pleased to be able to organise the flower show once again and hopes there will be many entries from community members.

Feds dole out ‘prepayments’ to councils ahead of election By SHARON BONTHUYS IT’S not quite Christmas in July, but the Narromine Shire Council will receive an early fi nancial assistance grant payment of $3,759,984 from the federal government. Federal member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, says the prepayment to Narromine
will “help manage the cumulative impacts of weather events and COVID 19.” The grant to Narromine Shire Council is part of a $2.1 billion prepayment to councils across Australia by the federal government. It is unknown at this time how the grant will be used in Narromine shire. The fi nancial assistance
grant is a general purpose grant that councils across Australia receive every year and is not project specific. It is untied funding meaning that Councils can choose to use the funds on whatever priorities they wish. Since 1974-75, $64 billion has been distributed to local governments via these grants.
Father and daughter firefighters a first at Narromine
Recruit Retained Firefighter Skye Jones with proud father, captain Ewen Jones, at 401 Station Narromine. PHOTO: EWEN JONES. By SHARON BONTHUYS
IN a fi rst for Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) 401 Station Narromine, a father and his daughter are working side by side as fi refighters. Skye Jones was appointed as a recruit retained fi refighter at the station on March 22. She joins her father Ewen, who is captain and station commander. Ms Jones’s fi refighting career began at just 15, when she joined the Rural Fire Service (RFS). “I just wanted to help people but didn’t realise you could join the RFS at such a young age,” she said. Assisting her father with his work in the Apex Club and Meals on Wheels as a child, Ms Jones brought this passion for helping others into the RFS. It also led her to train as an enrolled nurse. Becoming a firefighter is not a simple process. There are physical, mental and medical requirements for the role, captain Jones said. “It’s a pretty tough gig to get into.”
Now 28, Ms Jones had to complete physical aptitude tests, attend an interview and submit to a medical. Demonstrating her resilience, she applied several times before she was finally accepted as a recruit retained fi refighter last month. Ms Jones will attend four days of training in the near future at Wellington where she will learn how to use the fi refighting equipment and rescue tools. She will also undertake fi rst aid training, building on the skills she already has as an enrolled nurse. Ms Jones credits her father with encouraging her to follow her dreams and providing support when needed. “He was always there to pick me up when needed.” There have been a few father-son combinations at 401 Station Narromine over the years but never a father-daughter combination until now. The original voluntary crew when the fi re station
fi rst opened 92-years-ago included Arthur and Cyril Hawkins, and CT Woolfe and CJ Woolfe. Others in more recent years have included Bob and Peter Treseder and Gavin and James Purvis. Robert Hawkins AFSM continued the family tradition, becoming the third generation of the Hawkins family to join Narromine Fire Station where he served from 1969 until 2009. His grandson Lucas Walsh joined 401 Station Narromine as a Retained Firefighter in 2010. Like the other fi refighter fathers who have gone before him, captain Jones is very proud of his child joining the ranks at the fi re station. “I am extremely proud of Skye for making it in as a recruit retained fi refighter at 401 Station Narromine,” he said. “Skye is only small in size, but has a huge heart, and is not scared to get her hands dirty.” Congratulations, Skye!

Narromine plumbers set record at state water conference NARROMINE Shire Council’s water utilities skilled plumbers have cracked the 2022 NSW Water Industry Operators Association (WIOA) Water Mains Tapping Timed Race against other councils across the state. Council’s team of two, Anthony Everett and Duane Donnelly, splashed all of the other NSW council contenders out of the race as they competed against the clock to insert a water connection into a live water main, in a record time of four minutes 23 seconds. The pair have received a very impressive trophy and have had the opportunity to nominate a charity that will receive a donation from the sponsors. The team have chosen Nar-
romine Cancer Support Group and a formal presentation to the charity will be made in coming weeks. Council’s general manager Jane Redden said they were thrilled to learn of the team’s success at the 2022 WIOA State Conference. “Council’s water and sewer infrastructure is one of the most important services that council provides,” she said. “Council acknowledges this fabulous achievement and the daily work the water utilities team provides in delivering a safe and reliable water supply to the urban areas of our communities,” added Mrs Redden. The 2022 WIOA NSW Conference was held in Tamworth last week.

Orana Beekeepers boost industry integrity By SHARON BONTHUYS A REGIONAL amateur beekeeping association is doing its bit to ensure the integrity of the honey bee industry in NSW and beyond. Orana Beekeepers (OB) has members from all over the Orana region of the central west NSW. Members hail from Nyngan, Narromine, Gilgandra, Dubbo, Wellington and other communities in the region. Formed about threeyears-ago, the 45-member group meets monthly in Narromine where experienced and amateur beekeepers can get together and share knowledge. These monthly meetings and the outreach the group conducts about bees and beekeeping help boost the integrity of the industry. It is an important link in the biosecurity chain that surrounds this important local and international industry. Beekeeping is not as simple as building, stock-
ing and maintaining a hive. Beekeepers must monitor their hives for a range of diseases and pests which must be reported to the department of primary industries (DPI) NSW if discovered onsite, said OB president Paul Pynaker. “It’s all to do with biosecurity,” he said. “We encourage people who are keeping bees to join us and get registered as the DPI can fi ne you [if you’re not registered],” said OB vice-president John Goodworth. OB members learn many things about bees and beekeeping during their meetings. At the March meeting the group conducted a sugar shake test to determine if a local hive had any mites present. The test involves releasing several bees into a jar containing icing sugar. Mites present on the bees will get stuck in the icing sugar and the beekeeper will know the hive has been infi ltrated.
“We must send the results back to DPI when we do these tests,” Mr Pynaker said. Nothing was found at the time the sugar shake test was conducted in March, which was great news for the local beekeeper. “It’s our intention to educate people about keeping bees,” Mr Pynaker said. There are many people in the community who have bought or been given “flow hives”. These specially designed hives minimise contact with the bees and enable honey to flow out through a tap system. However, the bee colonies in flow hives still need to be cared for and monitored for diseases and pests, which their owners may not be aware of. The best thing anyone keeping bees in the Orana region can do is join the group and get registered as a beekeeper, Mr Goodworth said.

Mission Melanoma March update By SALLY EVERETT AFTER losing Dad, Lionel, to melanoma in November 2021 and learning so much in such a brief period of time, it made our family committed to raising awareness of melanoma and the importance of skin checks. The fi rst part of our commitment to this was participating in Mission Melanoma over the month of March 2022 raising funds for the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation. Each day our family walked “taking steps for those that can’t”. As a combined team we walked over 230 kilometres in the month of March. Team member and Lionel’s youngest daughter Carin McGuire and her daughters often walked during rain due to living in the Hawkesbury and flooding but that was not going to stop her! When we started fundraising, we aimed for $3000. If this happened, we would get matching tattoos of the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation Logo. While Dad was not a fan of tattoos himself, we know this will be a lifetime way of keeping the conversation going! This will be happening in June
2022. It will also include Lionel’s granddaughters, Lily and Violet, getting custom made temporary tattoos of the logo at the same time we get our permanent ones! Once we met this target, a new one was set of $6600 as Dad was 66 when we lost him. We then exceeded that with our fi nal tally raised being an incredible $8000. We as a family are so grateful and thankful for all the support we received. Not only with our fundraising but those that listened to our story, shared our story, and got a skin check. Over March as part of our fundraising, we ran a raffle with some incredible prizes, and we congratulate the winners and thank everyone that brought tickets. The raffle was drawn by Dugald Saunders on Monday, April 4. We will continue our mission to raise awareness and have conversations about Melanoma and work with the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation. While not always easy conversations, if we can contribute to preventing another family seeing their loved one suffer, we will do what we can.
Lily Young, Lionel’s eldest granddaughter, was committed to walking and was not prepared to let excessive rain stop her.

Sport Gerries’ winter comp tees off
Motocross kids rise again at state qualifier
Bob Fletcher won the day with 26 points! By NORM LEWIS THE Geriatric Golfers started their winter Wednesday competition last week with a good field in attendance. Hitting off on the back nine were 12 hardy golfers enjoying the pleasant weather, good company and a course in top condition. The scores were consistent with the conditions. Bob Fletcher returned a card of 26 points to take the major prize on the day. Well done Bob. There was a tie for second on 24 points between Mal Richardson and Chris Harding. Richardson won the count back to collect the prize. ‘Pom’ lost the countback but beat the handicapper, as he does
not lose a shot for his effort. There was no winner of the NTP so the prize is added to the jackpot kitty for future events. Alan Kearines won the NAGA prize for the day with 15 points. Players were surprised and disappointed when they completed their round and returned to the clubhouse to fi nd it closed due to staff illness. They could not enjoy their usual good fellowship and pool competition, so it was home early for a change. I have heard there were some who deviated and found a waterhole on the way home. That’s it for this week. Hope to see you all at the 19th - if it’s open.

Narromine Jets claim Castlereagh League knockout shield
By BRYSON LUFF
IN what was an impressive start to their Castlereagh League tenure, the Narromine Jets claimed the Castlereagh League Knockout Shield after an absorbing battle with the Cobar Roosters in the fi nal. Playing in front of a very healthy crowd at Gilgandra’s Tony McGrane Oval, the Jets, along with all the other teams, started their campaign in fi ne and sunny conditions, on a surface that appeared as if it had easily soaked up the rainfall of the previous two days. Come mid-way through the day’s proceedings a downpour soon converted the playing surface into a heavy track, this being particularly so in the cricket pitch area. The Jets’ fi rst game saw them just get over the top of a young and enthusiastic Coonamble Bears outfit, winning 8 – 6. That result saw the red and whites line up against the host club in a semi-fi nal, and in an impressive display they blew the Panthers away 22 – 6, that result booking them a fi-
nal berth against the Cobar Roosters who had won their way to the semi fi nals by way of a narrow 12 –10 win against Gulgong in the opening round, followed up by downing the Trangie Magpies 20 – 6 in their semi-fi nal. And what a fi nal it was with the Jets holding down a 6 – 0 lead in the heavy conditions up until the Roosters scored a converted try with just seconds remaining on the clock to lock it up 6 – 6. This sent the game into golden point extra time and it wasn’t until midway through the second period that the deadlock was broken when a Jets player, who was ploughing his way up the centre of the muddy cricket pitch put through a kick and then was collared late by a Rooster, which resulted in a penalty being given downfield where the ball landed, that penalty being duly slotted which meant that the Jets claimed the silverware with an 8 – 6 victory! Indeed, a great start for the Jets in the Castlereagh League competition. Round one of the 2022

No bowls action but other news By RICK BOHM NO bowls action to report on as Mother Nature intervened in both Thursday’s and Sunday’s planned outings. But it wasn’t all gloom and doom as there was plenty of activity in the club house with the raffles and badge draw attracting a “goodly” number of patrons. While we didn’t get an opportunity to play any bowls this week, that will change in the next few weeks or so, with Easter tournaments all over the zone. Then we will be having a special bowls day, April 23, in honour of Narromine legend Bob Ashdown. The nomination sheet for
this day has been posted and hopefully should attract a full house, something “ASHY” deserves. Nominations for the A Grade Triples are coming in slowly, so if you’ve a mind to have a go at this championship, grab a couple of mates and get your name down on the nomination sheet. Our next little trip to Trangie has been scheduled for April 24. For those interested, a sheet has been “plonked” on the notice board, so again, get your name down sooner rather than later. Well that’s it for me for another week, and the Dragons got beat twice on the weekend, typical!!!

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES
By COLIN HODGES GILGANDRA (transferred from Warren), Leeton and Glen Innes meetings were all washed out on Saturday however, Grenfell Picnics went ahead with a big crowd and despite further showers on the day, safe racing on a rain affected track down graded mid meeting from soft six to soft seven rating. Anaelle Gangotena, who came to Australia from Ecuador as a nine-year-old, had her biggest day as a picnic races jockey when riding a winning treble on Saturday, April 9, at Grenfell. All her winners, Sestina, Georgian Court and Would Be King, were for trainer Doug Gorrel who Anaelle rides trackwork for at Canberra. In the feature event the 1400 metres Lane Cove Legends Grenfell Picnic Cup, Gangotena settled Would Be King behind the leaders, the recent Tottenham Cup winner Jin Chi Phantom and the Victorian galloper Trumps In. Taking control in the
Rain puts some western meetings on hold straight, Would Be King ($3 favourite) won by almost three lengths from Namarari (Emily Waters, $3.20) and Broo Boss (Breanna Bourke, $9) which made good ground from a long way back. Kicking off the big day for Gorrel and Gangotena was Sestina in the 1000 metres Railway Hotel Picnic Bracelet with the fi nal result decided in the stewards room. Sestina ($2.30) was fi rst home by a nose from the leader It’s Business Time (Rebecca McRae ($1.50 favourite) with Miracle Knight (Emily Waters, $4.40) four lengths away third after being with the early lead. A protest second versus fi rst was dismissed. Second leg of the treble for the Canberra visitors was Georgian Court which tracked the leader Mr Bobcat in the 1200 metres Allen and Flach Families Sweet Lauraine Class Two Handicap. Hitting top gear, Georgian Court (Anaelle Gangotena, $1.80 fav.) shot away to score by nearly five lengths from Mr Bobcat (Wayne Wheatley, $4) with another ten lengths to the third placed Hamish The Swift (Will Stanley, $5.50). After a break from racing, trainer Bill Hayes is putting a team together at his Eugowra stables and two of them fi lled

Dare To Fight (Wayne Wheatley, $1.90) led for home but was overhauled and beaten a head by stablemate Run Callan Run (Dylan Stanley, $7) with Pippie Star (Will Stanley, $1.80 fav.) two lengths away third. Heavily backed when an unplaced favourite at Tullibigeal, the Luke Pepper, Canberra trained fi lly Sublime atoned by winning the 1400 metres Terry Bros. Class B Handicap. Very well-ridden by the Bathurst based Will Stanley, Sublime ($3.80) from third position gained a rails run to beat Watermelon Wine (Emily Waters, $4.60) and Knight Enamoured (Wayne Wheatley, $6.50). Run over 2000 metres the Railway Hotel-President’s Cup is the longest race on the picnic circuit and had both some drama and a runaway winner. Veering off the track in the early stages My Bullet took Benoni to the outside fence with both losing a realistic winning chance.

In the meantime the $2.70 favourite Alpha Lane set the pace until Practical Joke (Breanna Bourke, $2.80) went to the lead at the 800 metres and cleared out to win by over twenty lengths from Mr Menzies (Ricky Blewitt, $10) while Benoni (Michael T Johnston, $3.80) recovered a lot of lost ground to fi nish third. Guntis Lukss who trains Practical Joke at Queanbeyan was several years ago a trainer at Narromine. Raging Rush, much to the disappointment of connections, missed a run in the $200,000 Over The Line Racing Wellington Boot when the meeting was washed out but there were smiles all round

Karate kids off to NZ in November By SHARON BONTHUYS
EXCITED Narromine karate students Winston Munday and Macie Bayliss are heading off to New Zealand in November 2022 to compete in their fi rst international tournament. The students from the Te-Ashi Kai-Shin Karate club in Narromine have been selected to compete in the Gosoku Kai annual karate tournament in Rotorua. They will join two other students from Dubbo who have also been chosen to compete in the tournament. Hanshi (master) Michael Ireland told the Narromine Star that Winston and Macie were chosen to compete at this event because of their dedication to the sport. “They attend regular training and try very hard in class,” he said. Macie and Winston have spent the last two years building their skills to attain green belts, he said. The trip will be the fi rst overseas travel for 10-year-old Winston, who trains four days a week and enjoys learning new techniques. “I think this tournament will be like the others [I’ve competed in here] but very hard,” he said, indicating he is certainly up for the challenge, It won’t be the fi rst overseas trip for nine-year-old Macie, but it will
be her fi rst big tournament. She is looking forward to meeting other competitors and making new friends on the trip. Macie loves karate because she has learnt new skills and it has helped her face some fears. “I like to learn new things and try things that I might be scared about,” she said, including learning how to spar with other students and how to fall safely. Hanshi Ireland will lead the team during the trip. “We’re hoping for some success,” he said. The club has a special connection with the New Zealand tournament operators, the Gosoku Kai family martial arts centre. Kyoshi Natasha Inuhaere is the daughter of the late Hanshi Temoanarupe Inuhaere who trained Hanshi Ireland. The club has started fundraising to help get Winston and Macie to New Zealand and seeks donations of cans, bottles, old car batteries, copper wire or brass scraps. If you can help, contact the club. Well done, Winston and Macie! Right: Winston Munday and Macie Bayliss are off to New Zealand with Hanshi Michael Ireland in November 2022 for their first international tournament.

Golf: rain washes out shield match By KALE BOCK THE inaugural Challenge Shield match between Warren and Narromine clubs was washed out on Saturday. Following a drenching on the course on Thursday and Friday, Saturday dawned fi ne and clear and some 43 players from both clubs lined up for the
event. All was going well until a huge storm hit the course mid-afternoon. Officials had no alternative than to abandon play for the day and cancel the event for this year. It was a pity, as this event had attracted great interest from both clubs. The event will now be played at Warren
next season. The Narromine Club would like to congratulate all those responsible for the planning of the event, especially the sponsors, helpers and course volunteers for making the event possible. Players enjoyed some hospitality in the clubhouse after the decision to abandon was made. An impromptu pool
